About

Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem boasting an exhilarating score, the show took Broadway by storm, winning both the Tony Award® for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize. We follow the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, played by Skylar Astin (Pitch Perfect), who uses a little handbook called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive. Betsy Wolfe (Waitress, Falsettos) stars as Finch's love interest Rosemary Pilkington, and Michael Urie (TV's UglyBetty, Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Hamlet) will take on the role of Finch's rival Bud Frump. Local D.C. favorite Nova Y. Payton (Ragtime at Ford’s Theater, Caroline, or Change at Round House Theatre) joins as secretary Miss Jones.

They will be joined by John Bolton (Anastasia, A Christmas Story) as Mr. Bratt, John Michael Higgins (Pitch Perfect, Best in Show) as Biggley, Joaquina Kalukango (The Color Purple) as Smitty, Tony Award® winner Michael McGrath (She Loves Me, Nice Work If You Can Get It) as Mr. Twimble and Wally Womper, and Becki Newton (TV's Ugly Betty) as Hedy La Rue.
